Describe the seven areas needed in an ongoing assessment in child welfare, then select one and discuss its importance.

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The seven areas of ongoing assessment in child welfare include 1) adaptation and progress toward case plan, 2) child’s and family’s underlying strengths/needs, 3) child’s ongoing safety and well-being, 4) child’s and family’s coping skills and resilience, 5) decisions about the child’s long-term safety, 6) minimization of further risk or harm, and 7) family’s protective capacity to determine exit from child protective services. In regard to the child’s ongoing safety and well-being, it is imperative for case workers to not only be sure when to place a child or remove a child, but they must conduct an appropriate assessment to ensure that the child will be safe and their long-term well-being has been fully considered.
